Velop AX4200 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System

I got this earlier this year on here. I went back to my old router. It constantly dropped internet

Got this for 25 bucks. No complain, way better than my old garbage AC750 router

If you don't mind previous generation, say wifi 6 instead of wifi 7 then check out closeouts. Picked up a pair of Linksys Velop (MX4200) for $20 a piece from woot.com. Each node can cover 2700 sf and up to 7 nodes per mesh. I upgraded so I can deploy NDI cameras for streaming.

4 sets of these are possibly my returns? I bought WAY too many of them back in the spring :) They worked fine, fwiw

I had some issues between nodes disconnection with the stock firmware. Will flashing OpenWRT or DDWRT make the connection more stable?

Oh, it's just once a week, I don't have much recently. And, it could be Xfinity's fault somtimes 💀

These work decent for my needs but have poor wall penetration. I have one in my living room connected with Ethernet backhall and wanted to put another one in my garage directly below it (living room above garage). And it would not connect to the living room node at all.

I set these up and ran into terrible upload speeds like 10-15 Mbps, unfortunately where I currently live I couldn’t use Ethernet backhaul so I went back to my wifi 5 nighthawk. I also have 3 of the other popular cheap linksys routers and had same upload issue when I set two of those up in mesh mode.

I tried all of that. I literally spent 2 days trying everything, I read every forum. It's ok I think I spent $60 or so on all of it. The single units work great as routers on their own (somewhat limited functionality but still) And I did test wired backhaul and it worked great then. The problem is right now in my apartment I can't easily run an ethernet cable to where I want the second node. I have a set of powerline adapters but they don't work between the 2 outlets I would prefer. Like I said, no big deal. I went back to my other router because it already had everything configured for all my other stuff. I honestly think if I set these up for like my parents they'd never notice the upload difference.

Here we go again. I assume this is the same version that I have. If that's the case, it only has 500 MB of RAM This supports OpenWRT btw Search for "MX4200" on OpenWRT Although it seems OOS now. Try again next week possibly

Damn I missed out. I have 2 of these already runing OpenWRT on wired backhaul with roaming on. I need just one more please!

From personal experience, have yet to run into any real issues with everything completely stock. So not necessarily bad actually
